Lokalyze: Support Local Retailers While Browsing Online
Lokalyze is a browser extension that aims to support local economies and provide visibility to nearby retailers. Available on the Chrome platform, this free add-on recognizes when users are browsing for retail items on major e-commerce websites like Amazon, eBay, and Alibaba. It then automatically pops up to show local stores that sell the same or similar items.
With Lokalyze, the choice to buy locally or globally is left up to the user. The extension's primary goal is to give local, physical retailers visibility alongside the remote online giants. By doing so, Lokalyze hopes to encourage users to consider buying from their local stores more frequently.
Shopping locally has numerous benefits, and Lokalyze highlights five key advantages:
1. Supporting the local economy and neighborhood directly.
2. Reducing waste and pollution from delivery vehicles and packaging.
3. Enjoying friendly and informative service.
4. Getting some exercise by walking to the nearby store.
5. Getting the desired item right away without any delays.
By adding Lokalyze to your browser, you can effortlessly contribute to your local community while enjoying the convenience of online shopping.
